Therefore, after the draft was proposed, it immediately encountered strong opposition from the public. But even so, the draft was finally passed and will be implemented from April 1 this year.

If even going to a convenience store to buy some daily necessities requires paying tax, Momoko Kikuchi is not willing to impose consumption tax. However, when her agent talked about this matter, she said that abolishing the item tax and replacing it with consumption tax would be a good thing for the wealthy class.

Having become popular, the firm's commission, although severe, is not too heavy, and she seems to be included in the wealthy class.

However, if you have to pay taxes even when buying daily necessities...

Kikuchi Momo shook her head gently and dismissed these thoughts. She couldn't control these things anyway, so in the end, she could only accept them.

In a small interlude, Kikuchi Momo bowed to the other party and said it was okay, and continued to go her own way.

The next day, she went to the office, and her agent told her, "Peach Jam, there's something good."

"What good thing?" The good thing the agent said was nothing more than work-related. Kikuchi Momo remained polite and curious.

The agent said: "It's Fujifilm, inviting you to shoot the QuikSnap TV commercial for the next season."

This is indeed a good thing.

After hearing this, Momoko Kikuchi's polite curiosity turned into genuine joy.

With her reputation, accepting an advertisement is not something worth cheering for. However, for Momo Kikuchi, who was confused due to the transformation, this job gave her a sense of ease of "getting back on track."

…

The streets of Shibuya are crowded with people, and young people dress fashionably to make themselves part of Shibuya's fashion. And over at Yoyogi Park, ordinary people gather here every day to protest against the consumption tax.

Once the consumption tax is levied, it will be everywhere in life. The wool comes from the sheep. It is obvious that prices will rise, which will have a great impact on low- and middle-income people.

However, while the consumption tax has caused prices to rise, on the other hand, because of the abolition of the luxury goods tax, the prices of imported foreign goods have also dropped.

For rich people who have the ability to buy and buy, and cardholders who have the courage to borrow money to buy and buy, this is actually a good thing.

In the eyes of ordinary people, canceling the luxury goods tax for the wealthy class and imposing a consumption tax on everyone is reducing taxes for the rich and increasing taxes for the poor.

Because of this, the opposition to the consumption tax has not disappeared since the draft was proposed until it became a foregone conclusion.

The production company's recording studio is nearby. When Shinichi Iwahashi went to the recording studio, he could still see their sign propped on the ground.

Scenarios like this have been happening here from time to time since the consumption tax draft was released in the second half of last year.

The scope of consumption tax includes books and records, so price increases are inevitable. Over time, the public will get used to the existence of consumption tax, but it is hard to say what the impact will be in the short term.

However, for this kind of helpless matter, for the public, there is only a "casual" solution.

Iwahashi Shinichi's idea is also "whatever", although he vaguely remembers seeing that Japan's consumption tax was 8% in his previous life, but now it is 3%...

Okay, don’t think about it anymore.

If something cannot be eliminated, it can only coexist with it.
